## Summary

Pembrokeshire County Council is preparing a framework for the supply and delivery of herbicides and related products, jointly for Pembrokeshire County Council and Carmarthenshire County Council. This is a goods procurement, covering herbicides (CPV 24453000) and associated products. Delivery is in Pembrokeshire and Carmarthenshire. The existing framework is due for renewal, and the councils are using pre-market engagement to learn about products, innovation, market developments and legislative changes since the framework was established, as well as changes expected over the proposed new framework term. Suppliers with relevant products for public-sector use in these areas can contribute to shaping the buyer’s understanding before the planned procurement reaches the market.

This process is at the planning stage: the councils have stated an intention to procure, but have not yet invited tenders. They are seeking supplier feedback through a questionnaire, with responses expected by 13 November 2026. The buyer expects to publish a further notice on 4 December 2026. The procurement is intended to be a framework agreement and is described as a single lot, suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The proposed contract period is 1 March 2027 to 28 February 2029, with a possible extension to 28 February 2031. The estimated value is £440,000 excluding VAT (£528,000 including VAT). The release does not set out the intended competition procedure or evaluation criteria.

This engagement is relevant to manufacturers, distributors and suppliers of herbicides and related products who serve local authorities or can meet delivery needs in Pembrokeshire and Carmarthenshire. Smaller suppliers are explicitly considered suitable, and the single-lot structure may be pertinent to businesses able to supply the overall range rather than only a narrow product category. The councils are looking for evidence of new products, innovation, market developments and legislative changes from the past four years, alongside anticipated developments during the framework term. Suppliers with current knowledge of product choices and relevant regulatory changes are well placed to provide useful input and prepare for the later competition. The engagement is a chance to share market knowledge; it is not an invitation to submit a bid.
